Chapter 437 Impersonation (5 days until the end)
Su Changduo said, "As everyone knows, my wife Qianqian disappeared shortly after giving birth to our daughter. I have been investigating this matter."
I finally found a clue recently.
Qianqian's disappearance is related to President Ren's wife, Tie Minlan.
After he finished speaking, the room fell completely silent. They were all clearly too shocked to speak.
When Tie Minlan saw that Ren Shunan's crimes had been proven true, she was thinking of sacrificing her partner to save herself, but the next second, her own evil deeds were also exposed.
She was completely terrified, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, like an old car in motion.
The way people looked at her, in particular, made her wish she could disappear into the ground.
She looked around, and saw that her husband and son, who usually protected her, were nowhere to be seen. This angered her even more.
Enraged to the point of wanting to kill.
However, she knew that while she could cause chaos at home and even at work, she couldn't do that here.
Otherwise, she would suffer the same fate as Wu Yaoyao, who was dragged away with her head pressed into her crotch, a situation that was utterly undignified.
She wouldn't do that. She'd rather die than!
After a long while, she finally raised her head, looking at Su Changduo with immense pain and disbelief, and stammered,
"President Su, you know better than anyone how I've always treated you. How could I possibly do something to hurt you? I didn't do it, I'm innocent."
Su Changduo frowned in displeasure, but did not have anyone play the video evidence.
Realizing that Su Changduo seemed to lack concrete evidence, Tie Minlan instantly felt relieved, but a surge of immense grievance and resentment welled up within her.
She took the initiative and said, "President Su, if you have evidence, then produce it. I don't believe that you can fabricate evidence out of thin air for something that I, Tie Minlan, haven't done."
Ms. Su, I know my husband did something wrong. He should take responsibility for his mistakes. You don't need to drag me into this, do you?
Or are you trying to pin the things my son just did on me?
Xingheng is just a child; Mr. Su, aren't you being far too narrow-minded? Besides, my son didn't wrong her about all the shady things your daughter did, one after another; he was telling the truth. Is that wrong?
If President Su truly can't tolerate me, she could simply target me directly. I wouldn't have a chance to resist; I'd be at her mercy. It's just really unnecessary to pin such a huge charge on me; a weak woman like me can't bear that burden. Aren't you trying to force me to my death?"
It must be said that what Mrs. Ren said was very logical and well-structured, and she really convinced many people.
Yes, while Ren Xingheng's actions were somewhat understandable, they genuinely angered Su Changduo. Ren Shunan, needless to say, directly sought to kill Su Changduo, so it's no wonder she was targeted.
But Ren's mother was innocent from beginning to end. Even if she was to be blamed, she shouldn't be accused of such a serious crime.
After all, Qianqian has been missing for 20 years and is most likely dead. To pin such a huge crime on her, and for Tie Minlan to pay with her life, is a bit too much, isn't it?
Hearing the whispers of those who were speaking out in defense of others, Su Changduo's expression instantly turned somewhat unpleasant.
Although there is indeed a lot of evidence pointing to Tie Minlan, there is still a lack of key evidence to convict her.
This puts us in a difficult position.
On the other hand, Tie Minlan was rather smug, covering her face and sobbing as if she had suffered a great injustice. However, no one saw that the corners of her mouth were faintly curled up.
Just then, Feng Jue suddenly spoke up, "Uncle, I have evidence."
Although these words were spoken to Su Changduo, they struck Tie Minlan like a thunderbolt.
She abruptly stopped sobbing, staring at the stage with shock and terror in her eyes. Her meticulously manicured nails dug fiercely into her palms, breaking off without her even noticing.
Feng Jue said, "Out of jealousy, Tie Minlan sent someone to hypnotize and erase Aunt Qian's memory. I accidentally witnessed it, and they wanted to kill me to silence me. Fortunately, a little girl suddenly appeared, distracted them, and saved me. However, in the end, I was still caught by human traffickers and taken to China."
As he spoke, he gave Liu Cheng a look, and the latter nodded. The evidence then began to play on the big screen.
The chain of evidence is tightly linked, with witnesses and physical evidence. Even in court, it would be enough to easily convict Tie Minlan.
As she watched the evidence scroll across the big screen, Tie Minlan's well-maintained face gradually twisted, darkened, and became ferocious, finally bursting into maniacal laughter.
There was no guilty conscience, no fear, only anger and defiance.
Su Changduo ignored the trapped man and looked only at Feng Jue, saying urgently,
"Ah Jue, what happened to your Aunt Qian in the end?"
Feng Jue shook his head. "I didn't see it. It should have been abducted by human traffickers. I'm still investigating this matter. I've found a clue, but I don't want to make any unfounded claims before I have concrete evidence."
Su Changduo's story.
Feng Jue added, "However, Aunt Qian should still be alive."
Su Changduo immediately breathed a sigh of relief. However, there was a possibility that Qianqian might have met with misfortune.
He suddenly looked at Tie Minlan, and with just one glance, several bodyguards rushed over and dragged Tie Minlan to the front of the stage without any courtesy.
"Tie Minlan, tell me, what happened to Qianqian in the end?"
Seeing Su Changduo's anxious, concerned, and uncertain eyes, Tie Minlan laughed even more wildly, finally managing to stop.
She said smugly, "I won't tell you. Su Changduo, what do I lack compared to that bitch? Yet you only have eyes for her. Why? I hate her, I hate her to death, and I hate you too, I hate that you're blind."
You'll never know where that bitch is. I'm going to make you live in pain forever, hahahaha…
Seeing Tie Minlan and Keyun go mad, Ren Xingheng ignored the bodyguards' attempts to stop him and rushed forward, shielding his mother in his arms. He said to Su Changduo, "Mr. Su, the sins of the mother are the sins of the son. If you have any problems, come at me. She has gone mad and has already been punished."
Su Changduo looked coldly at Ren Xingheng, but before he could speak, Ren's father stumbled over and spoke first.
"President Su, I know we are guilty of heinous crimes and cannot be forgiven, but Xingheng is innocent. He knows nothing."
We're willing to go to jail, we're willing to pay with our lives, we're even willing to hand over the entire Ren Group. But there's one thing I beg you for: please stop deliberately suppressing Xingheng. Whether he lives as an ordinary person or starts from scratch, I just hope this feud ends here and doesn't affect the next generation.
Su Changduo remained silent.
Everyone fell silent, their hearts tightening involuntarily. They knew that Ren Xingheng's fate rested entirely on Su Changduo's decision.
Finally, Su Changduo spoke up, "As long as these matters have nothing to do with Ren Xingheng, I will not target him."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Ren breathed a sigh of relief, while Mrs. Ren continued her frantic rant.
Soon, Yao Yao Ling arrived, presented two pairs of silver bracelets, and took Ren's parents away.
As for the entire Ren Group, Su Changduo immediately transferred it to Feng Nianxi's name.
Nianxi is so young, wouldn't giving her to Nianxi be the same as giving her to Su Xi?
Everyone stared intently at the mother and daughter, who seemed blessed by Lady Luck.
Now that Su Xi is married, and her husband is far superior to those scoundrels they raised, they simply can't compete with her.
Therefore, the only option is to carefully cultivate the next generation and strive to marry Nianxi into the family; that would be perfect.
Many people have this idea, and many can tell what the other is thinking just by looking at each other.
Their eyes involuntarily turned cold.
Everyone here is a rival in love.
Su Xi hesitated a few times, but seeing that she couldn't refuse, she had no choice but to accept. After all, she didn't have the right to refuse on Nian Xi's behalf.
At this moment, no one was pointing fingers at Su Mo anymore; all attention had been diverted.
This is Su Changduo's public relations strategy.
That's how the entertainment industry works. It's easy to suppress a trending topic; just create an even more sensational one. If two trend, even better.
Sure enough, the guests' attention was successfully diverted.
After all, Su Mo's case was merely a matter of conduct and character, while Ren's parents were involved in criminal matters.
Once Su Mo recovered from the negative public opinion, she naturally started to stir up trouble.
Seeing Su Xi shamelessly accept the Ren Group's offer, Su Mo was so angry her chest felt like it was going to explode.
Those should all have been hers.
Suddenly, she looked at Feng Jue. The man was still so dazzling and captivating, making it impossible to hate him or ignore his charm.
Fine, let's let Su Xi go for now, we should conquer Feng Jue first.
She walked over, pursed her lips, and tears welled up in her ambitious eyes in an instant, making her look pitiful.
"Mr. Feng, I know I've done many wrong things, but I was the little girl who saved your life back then. Could you help me completely suppress those negative comments? Also, could you..."
“Miss Su,” Feng Jue interrupted her, his flat voice conveying his disregard and indifference.
The words he spoke were even harsher than a slap in the face.
He said, "Judging from your character, that girl is definitely not you; you must be impersonating her, right?"
Su Mo's face tightened, especially when she heard the faint mocking laughter in her ear, which made her feel even more ashamed.
She instinctively retorted, "Do you have any evidence?"
The moment she uttered those words, the hairs on her neck stood on end in terror. If Feng Jue produced evidence, wouldn't she be courting death?
Fortunately, Feng Jue simply said calmly, "You'll see soon enough."
Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief, not daring to continue arguing with Feng Jue, and silently retreated, trying her best to minimize her presence.
Just then, a group of people dressed like nouveau riche walked in.
The guests all frowned in curiosity.
The banquet has been going on for quite some time now, so why are there still guests? And judging from their clothes and demeanor, especially the middle-aged woman at the head of the group, she clearly has no class and could never have received an invitation to such an event.
This person clearly sneaked in.
But they were relieved when they saw the black-clad bodyguards following behind those people.
Suddenly, as if struck by a sudden thought, the guests' eyes began to shine brightly again.
Looks like there's going to be a good show to watch.
Su Mo looked over and was somewhat surprised to see that the person in the lead was Huang Sifeng.
My uncle, Su Zi'an, and my cousin, Su Jingyu, also came. There were also some other relatives.
Everyone else behaved properly, but Su Xi could tell at a glance that Huang Sifeng was up to no good and was here to cause trouble.
Huang Sifeng was obviously there to cause trouble and freeload. To be precise, while others were freeloading, she wanted to take everything away from them.
Su Xi is engaged, and her fiancé is very likely the son of a powerful figure like Huangtian Group. Heaven knows how happy she is.
She immediately started crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide, then dragged her whole family to country Z.
Just when she was struggling to figure out how to get into such a high-class event, a young man approached her and said he could help them, but they would have to listen to him about when to enter the banquet hall.
Seeing that the man was distinguished and didn't seem to be trying to fool them, she immediately agreed.
But she waited and waited, feeling that the banquet had been going on for quite some time and was probably almost over, but still no one came to tell them to go in. She even thought she had been scammed.
Just as she was pacing around anxiously like an ant on a hot pan, that person finally sent someone over.
Finally, it was Huang Sifeng's turn to take the stage.
As soon as Huang Sifeng stepped onto the stage, she began to berate Su Xi, relying on her seniority.
"Su Xi, your parents died young, and your uncle and I raised you with our help. You ate my food, drank my water, lived in my house, and used my things, but we didn't ask for a single penny from you. You were even targeted by your ex-husband Feng Jinchen at every turn, and your company almost went bankrupt. You owe us so much, how are you going to pay it back?"
Now that you're successful, you got engaged without even telling us. You're such an ingrate!
As the saying goes, the kindness of raising someone is greater than the kindness of giving birth. You so disregard the kindness of your upbringing, turning your back on us poor relatives. You and your daughter will be condemned by everyone and will suffer retribution.
Su Xi listened quietly to her rant, and only after the woman had a moment to catch her breath did she speak calmly, "So, how do you want me to repay you?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Sifeng's eyes lit up.
He said, "The assets under your name, including Feng Nianxi's, will be divided in half with us."
Your cousin is 20 years old and still doesn't have a decent girlfriend. We should use this money to buy him a villa, a sports car, and start a company. If he's going to marry, he should marry a top-tier heiress.
I can help you out then, right?
"Aren't you and Jingyu very close? This money isn't for us, it's for him. Naturally, you should also be responsible for our retirement and other future needs."
Before Su Xi could speak, Su Jingyu couldn't stand it anymore. He tugged at Huang Sifeng and whispered, "Mom, aren't you ashamed? How can you ask for things so bluntly, especially in front of so many people? If you have something to say, say it in private. You should be congratulating your sister on her engagement right now."
Su Zian also said, "Are you selling your daughter? Besides, she's not your daughter."
However, Huang Sifeng wouldn't listen to a word her father and son said. She knew that Su Xi was an ingrate miser; if he asked for it privately, she definitely wouldn't give it to him.
Now, in front of so many people, she stands on her moral high ground and demands something from her, and she dares not refuse.
So, Huang Sifeng shoved the father and son aside, raised her chin, and gave Su Xi an ultimatum: "Su Xi, if you don't want to be known as unrighteous, disloyal, and unfilial, transfer half of your assets to us as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will definitely sue you in court."
Su Xi smiled calmly and said, "Fine, go ahead and sue."
Huang Sifeng choked on her words. Then, somewhat embarrassed and angry, she said, "Su Xi, you've really forgotten your roots. Although I'm your aunt, I'm practically your second mother. I'm here on behalf of your deceased parents to teach you a lesson."
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward.
Su Changduo stepped forward and stood in front of Su Xi.
Huang Sifeng had already been restrained by her bodyguards, who held her shoulders down as if she were being escorted as a prisoner.
Su Changduo said coldly, "Huang Sifeng, I've heard a little about how you treated my daughter. You dared to lay a hand on her in front of so many people, which shows how wicked and vicious you are in private."
However, for the sake of my granddaughter Nianxi, I won't pursue the matter. But if you continue to throw a tantrum, don't blame me for being impolite.
Huang Sifeng was stunned for a moment. Her granddaughter? Nianxi?
Well, not only did Su Xi get Feng Jingnian's company and get engaged to Feng Jue, but even her child, who was considered a money-losing offspring, was taken as a granddaughter by a business tycoon like Huangtian Group?
This is practically a full buff stack, how are other players supposed to survive?
Jealousy made Huang Sifeng's eyes bloodshot, and her lower lip was bitten until it bled.
Su Xi is such a tightwad! They're already so rich, yet she doesn't even offer them a hundred or two billion as a greeting gift. She's either malicious or poisonous. It's all her fault for being blind before.
So although Huang Sifeng was afraid of Su Changduo, her feet seemed rooted to the ground, and she shouted fiercely but was actually weak.
“President Su, I know you’re wealthy and powerful, but you have to be reasonable. Su Xi is a member of the Su family; blood is thicker than water. Her money is our money. We’re only asking for half; that’s already like cutting off a piece of our own flesh and blood…”
Before Huang Sifeng could finish speaking, someone in the VIP section of the first row couldn't hold back any longer and immediately spoke up in support, "This is outrageous! President Su, Miss Su, shouldn't we just throw this kind of person out? Are we going to keep her around for the holidays?"
Upon hearing these words, Huang Sifeng's face stiffened, and the rest of her words instantly stuck in her throat.
It's true what they say, officials protect each other. This person, when he's flattering the emperor, has completely disregarded the most basic human ethics.
Where can you even begin to reason with this? The world is going to the dogs!
Huang Sifeng looked like an honest, unassuming farmer who had been wronged. Many people sitting in the back row couldn't hear what she was saying, but there were still many people standing in Huang Sifeng's shoes.
At this moment, Feng Jue suddenly looked at Huang Sifeng and said, "Xixi heard that you were coming and prepared gifts for you."
Huang Sifeng was overjoyed.
"On the big screen."
Huang Sifeng's face fell. Her expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book.
She thought she'd get a bag of diamonds, but instead he made her look at a big screen. What valuable things could be on that big screen?
But the moment she looked at the big screen, she saw something, and Huang Sifeng's face turned extremely ugly, like a duck being choked.
Su Zian and Su Jingyu behind them were so ashamed that they wanted to bury their heads in their crotches.
